bullying, not peer pressure.

disease. In most serious cases it can cause death. It is

medicine. To avoid catching malaria, you should use a mosquito
net.

Reading # p. 24 1. Before you read Possible answer The picture
shows a very fat man sitting in an armchair, watching TV and eating
a sandwich. He’s wearing a blue cap and a yellow T-shirt which
appears to be much too small for him. On the floor next to the
armchair we can see food leftovers (among which are an empty
bottle, an empty can, a fishbone, an apple core...), which show he
has been eating and drinking a lot. The man seems to be turning
into a tree: his legs look like tree branches and his feet like
roots. These roots are growing and even starting to cover the TV
set. It suggests that the man has been sitting there for a very
long time and is not moving anymore. The picture suggests the
person has a very unhealthy lifestyle. The man appears not to be
moving from his armchair or exercising at all, and it seems he just
keeps eating and drinking while watching TV.

need your advice. I’m quite worried about my friend Daniel. He’s
made friends with a group of boys who have a very bad influence on
him. They hang out in bars together almost every night, smoking and
drinking a lot of alcohol. Daniel used to really like school and
say he wanted to study medicine, but now he never does his homework
anymore and his results are getting very bad. He’s always looking
exhausted and is extremely irritable. What’s more, he says he
doesn’t care about studying anymore. What do you suggest I do?
Should I tell his parents, or talk to a teacher about it? Write
soon, Bye for now, Samuel

Lead in # p. 33 1. Possible answers On the picture on the left, a
teenage girl is taking a picture of a landscape – a river or a lake
with mountains in the background – with her mobile phone. On the
second picture, three teenage girls are looking at their mobile
phones, probably sending text messages. Mobile phones have changed
people’s lifestyle. Many people keep their phone constantly with
them and use it very often, to call, to listen to music, to send
text messages or to take pictures for example. They couldn’t
imagine their lives without a mobile phone.

Reading # p. 34 1. Before you read Possible answers 1/ I agree with
this statement. I think landlines will disappear because people
won’t need them anymore: everyone will have a mobile phone. I don’t
agree: I think some people will always keep their landlines even if
they also have mobile phones. 2/ I agree. Some scientists think
that radiation produced by mobile phones could be dangerous for
people who use them excessively. I don’t agree. I don’t think the
radiation could be powerful enough to cause diseases. 3/ I agree.
In my opinion, some phones are really too expensive. People spend a
lot of money on phones and on airtime but many could do without a
phone. / don’t really need a phone. I don’t agree. Some phones are

especially for people who don’t have landlines.

online, so for example you can receive and send emails, or watch
television. This means that people have access to a lot of
information very easily and very quickly. I think smartphones could
/ may replace computers one day. 3/ Mobile phones can become very
addictive. Some people never leave their phone and cannot stay away
from it, even for 5 minutes. They don’t turn it off at night and it
can affect their sleep. What’s more / Besides, looking at the

Reading # p. 38 1. Before you read Possible answers The people in
the picture are standing on a stage and sending text messages. They
are taking part in an American texting championship. The language
used in text messages is special because the words are generally
not written out in full. Text messages use a lot of abbreviations,
initials or symbols. I think (that) people who text a lot are not
used to writing complete words anymore. They are more likely to do
a lot of spelling mistakes when they have to write at school for
example. / I don’t think (that) texting affects writing skills
negatively. People just use a different language when they send
text messages. / In my opinion, texting affects writing skills
positively, because people get used to writing all the time.

Unit 4 - Looking forward
Lead in # p. 45 1. Possible answer The first picture shows a whole
field covered with solar panels, a device that uses solar energy.
The picture on the right shows an offshore oil rig. Solar energy is
clean, because the production and consumption of this type of
energy is done without emitting any greenhouse gases like carbon
dioxide. Oil, on the contrary, isn’t a clean energy.
Vocabulary # p. 45 → Energy 2. To check the meaning of the words,
students can use a dictionary or refer to the Wordlist at the end
of their Student’s book (pages 158-160).

clean, but not the production) – nuclear (except for the production
of waste) – geothermal – hydroelectric

3/ Nuclear energy, coal, gas and oil are fossil fuels.
Reading # p. 46 1. Before you read Possible answer The picture
shows renewable energy produced from organic matter with a biogas
digester. Organic matter – animal dung and human sewage – is put
into a digester which turns it into gas. The gas can then be used
for cooking for example.

career in ANIMAL DUNG!? It’s unimaginable! Yuk!’) sentence 6
(Tonto’s comment, ‘Don’t let Cynthia put you off, Singh.’)

5. Writing task Possible answer (134 words) In my opinion, life in
2200 will be far from perfect. Some aspects of it will be better
than what it is today, but there will still be serious
difficulties. I think energy won’t be a problem anymore in the 23rd
century. The energy crisis will be over because people will be
using only renewable energy sources. That means there will also be
less pollution. But I believe there will still be a lot of poverty
and inequality in the world. Access to efficient healthcare
services as well as higher education will still be an issue for the
poorest populations, and inequalities will continue to grow.
On the whole, I am more pessimistic than optimistic about the
future, even if I am sure that some aspects of life will have
improved in 2200.

3. Possible answers 1/ It is still a problem in sub-Saharan Africa.
2/ It is expensive because families often have to pay school fees
and buy uniforms and textbooks. 3/ Some poor families educate only
boys because they can’t afford to pay for all their children. They
favour boys’ education because they believe a woman’s place is at
home, and they don’t see much value in educating girls. They think
it’s a waste of money to educate a girl. 4/ Ethiopia increased the

good idea. Going to a special school with special programmes can
help teenagers overcome their difficulties and aggressiveness, and
prevent them from being sent to prison later. No, I don’t think
boot camps are a good idea. I think they may be a bad idea for some
teenagers. Boot camps don’t work for everyone, and some teenagers
may not adapt to the camp. They may react against it and become
more violent, or suffer emotionally. 3/ In my opinion, the best way
to reduce crime is to prevent it rather than punish it. To prevent
children from becoming criminals, it is essential to
educate them well, and to educate their parents about the
importance of non-violent raising practices. / To reduce crime, the
government should punish criminal offences more severely / should

I usually do my homework, so I don’t have much time to watch TV! On

at the market. In the afternoon
